Red May for chemical industry workers! Reply reward! ---------------------------------------------- The past decade has been a period of rapid development for China’s chemical industry, marked by the emergence of many new processes, products, and equipment. There has also been significant progress in China’s chemical processing equipment, which has contributed to the swift advancement of the petrochemical sector. Here, we have compiled some of the achievements and breakthroughs made by Chinese equipment manufacturers in terms of larger-scale production and greater use of domestic equipment. We invite everyone to share their insights and engage in discussions, to cheer for Made in China and to support the development of chemical processing equipment! ================================= The 2.5 million-ton PTA production line of Hengli Petrochemical’s Phase 5 facility utilizes Invista’s industry-leading patented technology; it is the largest PTA plant in terms of capacity and scale in the world. The complete set of equipment consists of a crystallizer, an oxidation reactor, and distillation towers, and it has been described by foreign patent holders as \"world-class\". The design and manufacturing technology for the core titanium composite plate equipment has until now been monopolized by certain domestic companies. This time, Zhanghua Machine has been tasked with manufacturing 8 core titanium-based devices for this project, as well as a complete set of equipment using titanium composite materials with a strength of over 600T. It is responsible for handling the design and development of all 8 devices simultaneously, while also starting production right away. On March 3, 2020, Zhanghuaji (Suzhou) Heavy Equipment Co., Ltd., a key enterprise in Tianwo Technology’s high-end equipment manufacturing segment, held a delivery ceremony at the heavy cargo terminal of its Linjiang facility, successfully delivering the oxidation reactor and the secondary distillation tower – the second batch of core equipment for Hengli Petrochemical’s project with an annual production capacity of 2.5 million tons of PTA-5.
